Stick to the recommended tension range of your racket. If you are starting out with a racket start at the center of the recommended range. Experiment with different tensions later on to see what works best for you.<\/p><p>Other things to consider:<\/p><ul><li>If you are a beginner you may want to experiment with lower tensions. Lower tensions are more forgiving for off center hits.<\/li><li>If you are an intermediate to advanced player you may want to experiment with higher tensions. Higher tensions on your tennis string will provide you with more control and spin. You will be generating enough pace with your swing.<\/li><li>If you have arm injuries use a lower tension. This gives you a larger sweet spot to hit the ball and reduces the shock sent to your arm when the ball strikes the tennis string.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48dc91c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48dc91c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a style=\"color: #0000ee; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; text-align: center; background-color: #ffffff;\" title=\"Busy Tennis Players\" href=\"http:\/\/www.busy-tennis-players.com\/\">Return from Famous Tennis Players to Busy Tennis Players<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8c7609d\" data-id=\"8c7609d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Tennis Instructions Famous Players Tennis Equipment Contact Us Tell your story How To Select A Tennis String Selecting a tennis string should be something that you think through as not all strings and string tensions are suitable for all players.
